Essentially, you'll be taking the role of a journalist reporting all the facts and figures that occurred during that particular battle. Start off here and here, to find the facts on these particular battles and then continue your search. Please provide additional references for your additional sources.
You will utilize our iTunes program with our microphones in order to record a 1-2 minute report on the battle.
Make sure to first write a script on either paper or a Word document, this will ensure that mistakes will be kept to a minimum.
Don't be afraid to add a little flair or drama!
After everyone has completed their particular project, students will upload their podcast onto the Wiki page so the entire class can have access to the podcasts.
Trench Warfare
Students will then listen to at least 5 of the podcasts, and then write a reflective response at least one paragraph long on that particular podcast.
5 is the minimum for a minimum participation grade, more responses garners more participation points.

Wednesday
For today's assignment, you will create a PowerPoint that will cover this weeks chapter. In other words, your PowerPoint will cover the major points of the chapter. There doesn't have to be complete sentences, but there must be adequate information pertaining to the chapter and I will be grading for spelling. The PowerPoint can definitely be used as a study guide for the upcoming exam, and could quite possibly be used within the exam, only if EVERYONE submits their PowerPoint.
Please try to hit at least 5 major points of the war.
Please have the PowerPoint be at least 10 slides long.
Please refer to this timeline to refer to corresponding years and months that are relevant to the pertaining chapter.
After finishing your PowerPoint, please find another student's PowerPoint and look it over in order to see if it's up to snuff.

Watch this video, which shows the implementation of poison gas in action.
Soldiers affected by poison gas.
Then read this article about the effects of poison gas.
I'll provide a Wiki page labeled "Was it necessary to implement poison gas on the battlefield?", where you'll provide your reflection and evaluation. If you provide a yes answer, explain why it needed, and if you provide a no response, explain why it wasn't needed. Please provide at least a three paragraphed response.
After you have finished writing your own, please read at least two other responses and provide a one paragraph response. Try to at least find one response that is opposite of your own.
I will not be grading this based on WHAT you answered, but HOW you answered. Please back up your answer with your own opinion and facts, and I will obviously grade for grammar.
